If you are looking for a gaiter that is tough enough to stand up to continued use through even the oldest, narliest, toughest heather, then these Trailwise Snolock gaiters are an exceptional choice.

The Trailwise range of gaiters is the product of over 20 years development in satisfying the needs of walkers and mountaineers. Manufactured in Manchester using quality materials Trailwise can offer a range of gaiters that actually fits and performs fulfilling the functions of protecting expensive walking boots and trousers.

The classic rear-zippered style of the Canvas Snolock offers the user maximum protection for the front of your leg/boot - yes, 'modern' front zippered styles are easier to get on and off but, it is the front of your gaiters that takes the brunt of the abuse; the rear closure is a vastly more sensible design. The 'snow-lock' at the top of the gaiter is provided by a draw-cord within a soft, proofed nylon material which, works as an effective closure this, as the name suggests, 'locks out' and slows the ingress of snow or wet.

The main length of the Trailwise Snowlock gaiter is made from incredibly durable, breathable heavy 100% cotton duck - very much like tent canvas in texture. This is proofed when new but softens over time so that eventually it is almost completely silent in use (unlike dear-old Gortex which is incredibly noisy and then stops working altogether).

A strong bungee-cord keeps the gaiter in place (replaceable, although we've yet to need to do so after several years of continuous use).

We've been using Trailwise Gaiters for years; they are amazingly tough and completely effective....using gaiters can help significantly in preventing ticks from attaching themselves to you; for this reason we advocate their use, especially in long grass/heather.

Trailwise gaiters are individually made in Britain by people who understand the British climate!!

Rough size guide: If you have long legs or you're 6ft or over, take the 'Long', if you're below 6ft or have very short legs, 'Regular' should fit nicely.
